Love Com Two

Complete | nakahara aya | 2000 released

I only read the last two thoroughly, chapter 3 and 3.5. I'm not a huge fan of typical shoujo romance, and after I skimmed the first few chapters, I figured it didn't have anything that would really change my feelings. I read the last two because of the unusual lead female characters. I wish it could have been more focused on women like that. The fat girl story was what brought me here, and though it ended happily enough, I don't know how I feel about how much he hated his girlfriend's appearance, like in the end he was just tolerating her. I did like that she was legitimately fat, though. Another manga I started reading is about a fat girl who is drawn exactly like all of the other girls in size, but somehow she's supposed to be overweight. Anyway, I can tell the other stuff isn't for me, but the last two stories weren't too bad. Chapter 3 had a good message, too, and I'm so glad she finally chased after her dream and broke out of her rigid sense of duty.

Sugar My Baby

Complete | Natsume Tsuno | 2000 released

Aw, that was cute and simple. I don't get why so many people were hating on the first couple, though. I thought it was typical BL fluff. Sweet, nothing groundbreaking, but certainly not crap. At any rate, everything was rushed, and the weird mind games and miscommunication annoyed me, but the boys are beautiful, and I wish I could see more of their lives now that they're being honest with each other. And the older brother, what's that guy's deal? At least he's a decent wingman, I guess?
